200 Sedimentary rocks This is the rock a geologist would usually find a fossil in.	200 the outermost and thinnest layer- composed of rocks that are solid and hard but lightweight Define the crust layer (what it consists of)	200 Rocks These make up earth's lithosphere BUT can range to be various sizes, even a grain of sand	200 Silicate and non-silicate What are the two categories of minerals?	200 Ore- A mineral from which an element is extracted Gangue- the worthless remainder of the rock it is in Define the words "ore" and "gangue"
300 Moh's hardness scale This scale is used to tell the hardness of a rock	300 The middle layer- consists of denser rocks and its temperature and pressure increases with depth Define the mantle layer (what it consists of)	300 Igneous rocks This type of rock is formed during seafloor spreading	300 Feldspar, biotite, quartz What three minerals form granite?	300 Uraninite What is an example of an energy mineral?
400 Streak test This tests to see what color comes when you rub a rock against a tile.	400 The innermost layer- composed of iron and nickel Define the core layer (what it consists of)	400 Weathering and cementation The two things that happen for sedimentary rocks to become what they are	400 Surface colour, lustre, crystal habit, hardness, cleavage What are the five main properties to identify minerals?	400 Quartz, halite, graphite What are the minerals used in construction and industry?
